Not sure if this has been asked before or not but, since iMessages is universal between iDevices and Macs, do you guys think that it will eventually got to the Windows side? Or do you guys think that it will be a strictly Apple application?

strictly apple maybe down the road something similar might pop up on windows (3rd party app) but almost guarantee you wont see iMessage in windows...

This would be very helpful as my job only deploys HP PC's and i text all day to my friends and whatnot from my phone. I think they will consider it if enough people reach out interest to it. Just as they did with Safari on windows.

I would have to say, NO. Apple doesn't usually make their apps available for Windows (With the exception of Safari and iTunes, the latter no longer supports Windows) So you will have to use your iDevice (Or you could always persuade your boss to switch to Apple)

iTunes doesn't support Windows? I could swear I have it on my Boot Camp partition...

Safari doesn't support Windows anymore. iTunes does, and I guess it will continue supporting it because it is vital for the survival of iOS devices (which, by turn, are more important to Apple than Macs).

As for iMessage, there is no version for Windows, unfortunately.

Is there any version of Whatsapp for Windows and/or Mac?

People might well use Skype instead, as there are versions for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android...

The poster I quoted said 'the latter' which would refer to iTunes, hence the confusion.

Given that the screenshots are all of Mac Messages, and the download is through one of the sketchy download sites that requires surveys or to pay for a download, this seems more than a little like malware. I won't be testing it.

I dont understand why people answer with "its fake" when they havent tested it^^ The survey was totally worth it

We're saying it's fake because there are no real screen shots of the application- everything on the website are Mac Messages screen captures overlaid into Windows, and even the Youtube demo video shows nothing more than the website. Odds are that this is a mechanism to steal Apple IDs and passwords, and that you registered specifically to address this application is no evidence to the contrary.

It's just some social engineering to make people think it's legit, obviously.

So with that said above, and no real testing, the app could be capturing your Apple ID and Password for really BAD reasons.. As it was mentioned above, if it was open source, that info would be available on their site.

Also given the fact that they are using a well known download provider who specializes in allowing illegal downloads, I would say this app is totally worthless and can cause you problems if you use it. No one, who creates a unique app like this would hide their domain credentials. Other businesses would use that info to make them offers or partners to expand such a new and ONLY app of its kind.

Just a quick question - running bootcamp on my MBP for work related purposes (managing an Active Directory domain...) and would like to run iMessage on the Windows partition. I realise I could just run Windows in Parallels, but I'm not going to for the time being.
